Nice mention of the work of the RSC in today's Sunday times, https://t.co/zTk0a45pcg Part of our longstanding collaboration with Public Health England, RCGP @rcgp University @ORCHID_Oxford @OxPrimaryCare and the great work of primary care in influenza vaccination this year.

A nice video for patients looking to take COVID-19 or influenza swabs at home https://t.co/Xsphn5t24K @ORCHID_Oxford @rcgp Please can Oxford-RCGP RSC surveillance practices increase their sampling - we are looking for 1,000 specimens per week. @OxPrimaryCare

[Simon de Lusignan @lusignan_s]

1,700 GP practices contribute patient data for Oxford COVID-19 research https://t.co/BDzmtkyKer Fantastic to see such great support from colleagues @ORCHID_Oxford @rcgp @OxPrimaryCare More colleagues are welcome

What we used to call winter season disease surveillance is now all-year-round. @clininf Our protocol for surveillance by the Oxford-RCGP Research and Surveillance centre @ORCHID_Oxford is now online: https://t.co/ApwgiBhyX6

DRIVE sponsored study in UK featured by BJGP.
The largest difference in common sub-processes was observed between practices in the methods used to systematically identify patients eligible for swabbing and in who managed the POCT machines

Benefits of molecular point-of-care testing for flu are well known in secondary care: it is highly accurate and results are rapid. New research shows its feasibility in general practice.

See: https://t.co/Pb1WNxCCWg Molecular point of care testing can be incorporated into primary care workflow, this may be particularly important where there may be co-circulation of influenza and COVID-19 @OxPrimaryCare @rcgp @clininf @acmedsci

Disparities in COVID-19 test positivity seen in Oxford RCGP RSC sentinel network. See Lancet ID: https://t.co/FdEVvOij9f @OxPrimaryCare @rcgp @clininf Thanks to our network member practices & their patients for their support.

Help us monitor when COVID-19 peaks and the end of lockdown - to do this please get your coding right in primary care - see: @BJGPOpen https://t.co/12DfSIZFME UK coding guidance - use the good, rather than bad or ugly codes @OxPrimaryCare @RCGP @clininf

[Simon de Lusignan @lusignan_s]

Delighted to have any feedback on our protocol for COVID-19 surveillance @OxPrimaryCare @RCGP @clininf @jmirpub This is a major piece of teamwork. We welcome more practices to join the Oxford based RCGP RSC. https://t.co/yciOyr29EY

[Simon de Lusignan @lusignan_s]

Really important for GP colleagues have great data quality through the COVID-19 pandemic. Please code this disease, testing and exclusion. @kamleshkhunti supports. See: https://t.co/KpsiiIPpEy + preferred codes + prompts at: https://t.co/tj1wF8iGzV

We need to expand primary care surveillance of COVID-19, join at https://t.co/k27SOhfQVV This includes high quality coding of respiratory illness, flu-like illness, and confirmed COVID-19 cases. Advice is online at: https://t.co/KpsiiIPpEy

How do you manage pneumonia in older people in a pandemic?

Do NSAIDs worsen outcomes in acute respiratory infections (ARI)?

More. And more coming. With timelines for each review's arrival.
